This distribution was originally made available from http://resare.com/fc/

Free Culture is a book by Lawrence Lessig, the official homepage can be found at http://www.free-culture.cc/. The book can be bought in bookstores but also downloaded in many different forms from the Internet. All this because Mr. Lessig has released the book under a Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) license that permits derivative works (such as this audio book) as long as credit is given to the original author.

The initiative to make this audio version was originally taken by AKMA at his blog over at http://akma.disseminary.org/archives/001253.html and since it has been refined by Scott Matthews at http://www.turnstyle.org/FreeCulture/

This downloadable version was originally assembled by Noa Resare.

Notes

The first and biggest credit goes to Prof. Lawrence Lessig for writing a fantastic book and making it freely available.

Secondly I would like to credit A. K. M. Adam for coming up with the idea of making an audio book and coordinating the different contributed chapters.

Thirdly I would like to credit Scott Matthews for making the excellent audio book popup at http://www.turnstyle.org/FreeCulture/ that I used for this distribution.

At last I would like to thank all the people that have read chapters of the book. Here is the list of voices you will hear. For more information about the readers, please have a look at http://www.turnstyle.org/FreeCulture/.
